In a match of non stop action and suspense, and in their first ever shield game, the Cantabrian's have pried the Lambhurly Shield from Transfusion Time who recently have steadfastly refused to let it go (except when he versed Auckland, when that behaviour is totally acceptable)

Credit to Coach Ramchop for putting up an excellent fight, making the Roman Renegades rely on a T16 OTT from a heroic Goblin, into a checkerboard of Thralls and Vampires to run in for the game winning touchdown. Drama to the end, a wonderfully tactical match and a game that honoured the spirit of the shield.

The South will rejoice and savour this hard won Shield. At the final whistle, coach JPM was heard to utter Vidi Veni Vici.
